EBGB’s and Jacaranda, Liverpool
I am big fan of self-depreciation and the lowering of expectations to all the more be pleasantly surprised when anything goes right or is good, so it’s great to report that Crapfest did exactly NOT what it said on the tin. The theme stemmed from its founders, the anarchic Wirral two-piece of the Crapsons setting up a gig of friends, established band connections, and any excuse for a party.More
Everyone’s favourite crap sons, Crapsons have unleashed a new single / track / download / whatever via their bandcamp page.
It’s a nice little taster to keep you on your toes and is another lambastic beaut. That Bit Between Christmas And New Year is full of scouse wit as the Birkenhead pair compare Lockdown to that bit between Christmas and New Year and rumour has it that it’s ok to punch a Tory in the face (including not-so-Priti Patel).
Plans are afoot to record a new EP, or even album, but in the meantime, why not head to Liverpool on August 29th to see a shedload of bands at CrapFest.
Sharing the stage with Crapsons will be Incisions, Burning Flag, Wanweird, Salt The Snail, Spam Javelin, Problem Patterns and many more…

Cheeky boys from across the Mersey, Crapsons are back on TudnoFM and once again bang on form as they smashed out 5 songs live in the studio. Unfortunately I forgot to press record for their opening song Jee Wizz so we join the show about 15 minutes in…
Listen to the whole show (well, most of it) below and hear their forthcoming single Who’ll Babysit The Goths which, is apparently coming out soon on link2wales records!

Pete Bentham’s Free Rock ‘n’ Roll nights are simply the gift that never stops giving. I love this venue… It’s Sound. It’s also where I saw Cut for the first time this time last year, and I knew then it wouldn’t be the last… Neither would tonight…More

I’ve always believed that it is vital to review and support up and coming talent whenever I can. Tonight at The Skerries in Bangor, North Wales I witnessed four solid reasons why I continue to do it. I also took the opportunity at this gig of chatting with Mike & Andy from Crapsons. The filmed interview with be published shortly in it’s entirety.
I was really impressed with The Skerries. A small traditional pub at the bottom of the longest high street in Britain (one mile top to bottom). The back room where the bands perform is large enough to hold a decent crowd and project great sound, but also small enough for the place to fill up quickly.More
